UC(3) procedure seems to be an effective and well tolerated method to reduce intraocular pressure in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma. Studies directly comparing the efficacy and safety of the UC(3) procedure with that of trabeculectomy or diode laser are needed.
Visual acuity recovery was better in the DEX group than in the anti-VEGF group at month 3, but with no difference in CMT. In patients who did not change treatment, the long-term anatomical and visual outcome was similar between the DEX and anti-VEGF groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
